About this Product
White Peony, also known by the traditional name Bai Mu Dan, is a popular style of white tea made of young tea leaves and silvery unopened leaf buds. Our White Peony comes from Zhenghe town in Fujian Province, the original birthplace of white tea centuries ago. Distinguished by being plucked in "budsets" of one or two leaves and a bud, this tea has a sophisticated mouthfeel with a slightly stronger body than Silver Needles. A gentle and slow air-dry withering process results in a brilliant amber infusion with a honey-like viscosity and mild flavor that pairs well with food.

Favorite offering from Rishi
This Bai Mudan is absolutely incredible. Brews a beautiful cup with a subtle floral honey sweetness and
...
silky mouth feel. Invigorating in both body and spirit it brings a lingering meditative vibe. There's a reason White Teas are known as scholar's teas.

Amazing tea
White peony has to be one of the best teas offered by Rishi. An instant favorite for sure even though
...
I favor stronger bold teas. The flavor is light and it requires a lot of leaf to get a good cup but it's absolutely delicious. Sweet and slightly floral the tasting notes described are spot on. Benefits from a longer steep time as well. I usually go 4-5 minutes myself and 6 or so on the second steep.
